Note
This is only for core nodes. For embedded custom node documentation, please see https://docs.comfy.org/custom-nodes/help_page
Each core node should have a folder containing its node name, then a two letter locale.md, and potentially any assets along with it in the same folder.
See FluxProUltraImageNode as an example.
Note
A fallback is simply docs/NodeName.md, but this is discouraged.
To preview your documentation changes in ComfyUI:
-
Install editable version (optional but recommended):
# If you have one, activate your ComfyUI virtual environment first pip uninstall comfyui-embedded-docs # Remove existing PyPI version pip install -e /path/to/embedded-docs/ # Install editable version
-
Launch and preview:
- Start ComfyUI
- Refresh the frontend tab after making documentation changes
Tip
The editable installation allows you to see changes immediately after copying files, without reinstalling the package.
The package is automatically published to PyPI when:
- You manually trigger the workflow (Actions → Publish to PyPI → Run workflow)
- You push changes to
pyproject.toml
on the main branch - A pull request that modifies
pyproject.toml
is merged to main
The publishing workflow:
- Builds the package using
python -m build
- Publishes to PyPI using the configured PYPI_TOKEN secret
To ensure minimal consistency across nodes documentation, it is recommended to follow the Markdown linting principles. Some of the linting issues can be fixed automatically with the shell script below. Note this requires to install markdownlint-cli
.
# Install markdownlint-cli
# If you encounter the error npm.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system
# Run this command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
npm install -g markdownlint-cli
# Fix linting issues in all markdown files under docs directory,using shell script (Linux)
bash fix_markdown.sh
# Fix linting issues for a specific node's documentation
bash fix_markdown.sh ClipLoader # This will only check files in comfyui_embedded_docs/docs/ClipLoader/
# Or fix linting issues in markdown files, using powershell script (Windows)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File fix_markdown.ps1
